BOAR’S HILL, OXFORD. Jan 5. 1920. [photo enclosure unavailable] Masefield encloses "the best picture [he] know[s] of the society here at the end of the war" with his further commentary. Following up on his Nov 19, 1919 letter to Bull, Masefield cites H. Mayhew’s "Life + Labour of the London Poor" (1851) about London's "coster" street vendors. Costers "love fighting, are very patriotic" and, until WWI, lived much as they did seventy years earlier, Masefield reports. But at the Somme battle, they "were killed in thousands".
